Honeywell HW2000i 2,100 Watt 125cc 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator (CARB Compliant)

Portable Gas Generators


Anyone reading this will probably want to compare the Hw2000i Portable Gas Generators to the Honda EU2000i, as I did. At my time of purchase there was not much info out there. I decided to give it a try!

First of all the Honda is the king. Lighter and quieter. But at $499.00 delivered... one must put some thought into this decision.

My gas powered generators came delivered on time , no damage. But, the "priming bulb" was lying at the bottom of the box! No big deal after I realized that it was assembled incorrectly. I unscrewed the retainer ring, put the bulb in first and THEN screwed the retainer on.... all is well!!

The HW2000i runs well, so far! I have 2 hours on it. The efficiency mode does work, cutting the rpm and noise down by a third. I believe that the output specs are in line. Don't plan on running many power tools. It will barely run my 10amp skill saw. I tried my small table saw, the breaker kicked off. 8amp shop vac - OK! Anything that makes heat, no problem up to the rating output. It doesn't like any surges from induction motors.

I plan on using the generator for power outages and I installed a transfer switch. The hw2000i will run my Refrigerator, television, lights, and computers. The sine wave output looked pretty clean on my oscilloscope.



Update: These portable gas generators is on SALE through this LINK on Amazon



No battery charging cable and the output is unregulated on the 12 volt output. I made my own cable with a 2 prong extension cable and battery clamps. I put the charger on a car battery the output dropped to 15 volts.

I don't think that it was made to charge car batteries..... It will work, but do it at your own risk! Better monitor the charger!

I hope this helps! Good deal if it keeps running. A little heavy, I can deal with the noise, especially pulling only a few amps on the efficiency setting.
